Chapter 68
There was only a "click" sound, and the door to the wing was pushed open.
Everyone hid behind the vat and held their breath. They only heard the sound of footsteps, and someone walked straight towards the vat.
Yan Dufei was sitting behind the vat, holding the hilt of the sword with his right hand. Li Qiufeng shook his head at him, signaling not to do anything. At this moment, the man had arrived in front of the vat, and then stopped. After a while,
Only the sound of "pitter patter" could be heard. This man was actually peeing into the big vat, humming a little tune while peeing. Everyone smelled an unpleasant smell of urine and cursed secretly in their hearts.
After a while, the sound of neat footsteps was suddenly heard in the distance, and then someone shouted: "Who is it!" The neat footsteps suddenly became chaotic, and the sound became louder and louder. It seemed that there was a large group of people approaching.
He ran over here.
But I heard the man in front of the tank say: "It's me." Then someone laughed and said: "It turns out to be Lao Shou! He came out to drain the water in the middle of the night. Did you drink less last night?"
The old man smiled and said: "Chief Yu is joking. The work has not been finished yet. How dare you open your stomach and drink? If you miss the project, you will be beheaded!"
The captain of the post said: "Kill your ass, this is not the palace, and saying beheading is just to scare you common people. Besides, you have been working here for more than ten years, and Minister Guan Ling has to call you."
'Lao Shou', are you still afraid of a bird?"
The two chatted and laughed for a while, and then the captain said "Resign" and left with the soldiers on guard. When the soldiers had gone far, the old man was heard saying "poof" and talking to himself.
He said: "These dead Qiu Ba disturbed my interest in peeing." After saying that, he took off his pants again, peed into the big vat again, and then wandered back to the room.
When the candlelight in the room was extinguished, everyone stood up and looked around. The whole Kangling was completely silent. Zhuang Hengyun waved to everyone, and they saw him leaping up and jumping to the roof of the wing. Everyone performed Qing Kung Fu.
, all jumped up to the roof. After the wing room, there was another courtyard, with an arrow tower at the end, and behind the tower was a large round hill, which looked like a hill under the starlight.
Zhuang Hengyun pointed to the round hill with his right hand and whispered: "That is the tomb of the late emperor."
Yu Changyuan looked at Yuanqiu, then turned to Yan Dufei and said, "Brother Yan, where is Mr. Qiao's tomb?"
Yan Dufei said: "Judging from the marks in the picture, Senior Brother Qiao's tomb is in the southwest corner of the mound."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but look towards the southwest corner of the round hill. They saw a poplar tree in the southwest corner next to the red wall.
After everyone entered Kangling, they didn't see a single tree. At this time, under the starlight, they actually saw a big tree, and they were shocked. The poplar tree was more than five feet high, and it was so long.
prosperous.
Yu Changyuan whispered: "The map indicates one tree and one monkey. Now that the tree has been found, where is the monkey?"
At this moment, someone in the wing room at the foot was heard scolding: "It's so late at night, you damn rats don't sleep, you climb to the roof and mutter, don't you want to steal something?"
Everyone was shocked and couldn't help but look at each other. The voice they heard was that of the old man who had just urinated in front of the vat.
Then I heard the old man say again: "Damn it, you dare to steal even the emperor's tomb, you really are impatient to live. If you don't run away now, why don't you wait here to kill all the nine tribes?"
Just then, I heard a gong sound in the front yard, pitch pine torches were lit everywhere, and a large number of soldiers guarding the tomb poured out from everywhere, holding bright swords and guns in their hands. The archery tower in front of the round mound was also lit up.
The torches were lifted, and people stood in shadows.
The seven people crouched on the roof of the wing, not even daring to make a sound.
After a while, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the front yard. Everyone looked up and saw more than ten horsemen and horses slowly coming from the front yard under the light of torches. The first person was wearing a helmet and carrying a sword. Although he could not see it in the night.
Although he has a handsome face, he is tall and tall, and he looks like an iron tower when sitting on a horse.
Just listen to the crisp "tap-tap-tap" sound of the horse's hooves stepping on the bluestone. The sound got closer and closer, and soon they came to the main hall at the junction of the front yard and the back yard.
The man sitting on the horse reined in his mount, raised the sword in his hand, and said loudly: "Brothers, in a few days, it will be time for us to change our defenses. We have been guarding here for two years, and we have been drinking for two years.
The mountain breeze has made all the brothers feel like they are talking! Fortunately, the imperial court is considerate of everyone. We have just received an urgent official document from the capital eight hundred miles away. Zhao Shangshu of the Ministry of War has received the emperor's decree. Soon we will leave from the imperial mausoleum.
Set out and garrison in Shandong!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sergeants around him could be heard cheering together. Thousands of people cheered in unison, and the momentum was quite astonishing, making the roof tiles seem to tremble.
After the cheers of the soldiers stopped for a moment, the man raised his sword in his right hand again. The soldiers immediately shut up and stood in silence, and the imperial mausoleum became dead silent again. The man was heard to say loudly: "We are in Shandong this time to fight for
The imperial court does not serve to fight Japanese pirates to enjoy the benefits. However, there are some young people who procrastinate all day long, do not observe military discipline, neglect military orders, and weaken the morale of the army. Brothers, tell me, should such people be killed? "
All the soldiers shouted in unison: "Deserve to kill! Deserve to kill!"
The man chuckled and said: "Since all the brothers say they should be killed, I, the general, will use these people to sacrifice the flag, which will also strengthen our military power and win the jackpot!"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a burst of armor leaves, and eight armored warriors each held one person, pushed the four people in front of the horse, and then forced the four people to kneel on the ground.
The armor on these four people had long been stripped off, and they were only wearing white cloth. Under the light of the torch, the white clothes were covered with blood stains, and they must have suffered a lot. Each of them had their hands tied behind their backs, and their disheveled hair was pressed down by the sergeant.
They were kneeling on the ground. Each of these four people had a wooden stick across their mouths and tied behind their heads with ropes. Therefore, although they tried desperately to speak, they could not make a sound.
Immediately the man sneered and said: "The four of you are all well-established people. Relying on the support of others, I thought that Sang did not dare to kill you. It's just a pity, a pity, the person who can save you wants to save you, but now
It’s too late.”
The four of them struggled desperately, making "ho ho" sounds in their mouths, but could not speak.
Immediately the man said loudly: "Everyone recognizes these four people. They hold high positions in our camp. Some of them are supervisors sent to us by the Ministry of War. However, if they violate military law, they must be beheaded."
.Brothers may not know why we came here to kill their heads tonight."
Having said this, he paused, looked around, and said loudly: "Does anyone know where this place is?"
I heard someone among the soldiers shouting: "This is the tomb of the late emperor!"
The man nodded and said: "This brother is right. We served as soldiers and had food to protect our family from freezing and starving to death. This kindness was naturally given by the emperor. When the late emperor was here, he took great care of us.
Every time I went to fight with the Tatar soldiers outside the Great Wall, I never treated my brothers badly. After the death of the late emperor, we first went to Datong, where we had land and land. Many brothers bought their next property and lived a comfortable life. But...
There is a group of treacherous ministers in the court who don't want us frontier troops to live a good life, so they try every means to transfer us to a place like this. How many brothers abandoned their families and followed me here. Sang owes everyone a favor, and I dare not forget it one day.
.Now someone in the court is finally willing to speak for us, leave this place, and go to Shandong to live happily. We are all men who lick blood on the head of a knife. We have revenge and injustice! No one in the court speaks ill of us.
We can’t let it go! To tell you the truth, among these four people, there is someone from Dongchang.”
When he said this, he pointed the big knife in his hand at the four people. The soldiers around him were furious and pumped their fists and shouted: "Kill them! Beat them to death!"
The four people whimpered and struggled to stand up, but were beaten and kicked by the soldiers guarding them. After a while, they all fell to the ground.
Immediately the man said: "Today the court's deployment of troops and defense has arrived, and we will set off soon. Today, we will kill these four people in front of the late emperor's mausoleum to sacrifice the flag, so that everyone will remember who gave us the good life!
"
Someone shouted loudly: "The late emperor led us to fight against the Tatars. Every time we went out to fight, we got a lot of money and went home to buy land! Since the late emperor passed away, we have been here, whether we want to eat or not.
Drink or not, my wife and children are left in Datong to suffer. This is all caused by the traitors in the imperial court! Let’s kill these four traitors first, and then go to Beijing to kill the traitors!"
Someone took the lead and shouted, and thousands of soldiers immediately followed the call.
Li Qiufeng was lying on the roof tiles. When he heard the three words "Qing Jun Side", he was shocked and thought to himself: "I originally thought these people just wanted to kill a few officers to vent their anger, but I didn't expect that they actually shouted the three words 'Qing Jun Side'."
This word clearly shows that we are going to rebel!"
